The Academy of Wicked Kings: A Dark Academia Enemies-to-Lovers Romantasy

Three wicked kings. One dark game. The scholarship girl they chose to break will be the one to bring them to their knees.

Welcome to the Academy of Wicked Kings, where power is the only currency and secrets are the deadliest weapons. They see me as a provincial charity case, a harmless sparrow to be toyed with.

They're wrong.

Lucien, the ruthless heir with a fencer's deadly grace. Rhyse, the beautiful Fae prince whose glamour hides a cruel heart. And Malachai, the half-demon scholar who desires knowledge as much as he desires control. They rule this academy, and they’ve set their sights on me.

They made a wager on my soul. A secret I was never meant to hear. They call it the Pet Game, and the rules are be the first to dominate, manipulate, and shatter the scholarship girl.

Their mistake wasn't in choosing me as their target. Their mistake was in whispering their plan where I could hear.

Now, their cruel game is my battlefield. I will become the perfect pet, playing a part so convincing they’ll never see the trap closing around them. I will learn their secrets, exploit their desires, and turn them against one another in a fight for a throne none of them realize is mine for the taking.

But a fourth player watches from the shadows—a brilliant, dangerous professor whose sharp gaze sees through my every performance. He could expose my entire strategy, or he could be the one man who understands the darkness inside me. His attention is a risk I never calculated, and it might be the only thing that could make me lose control.

In a world of monsters and magic, the most dangerous creature is the one they underestimated.
